A word from Linnea, the 'Mickey the Gnome' costume creator:

This is Mickey, our Havanese-miniature poodle mix. My grandma always had a bunch of gnomes all over her garden, so I thought it would be funny if we dressed Mickey up as a gnome. We just used an old blue t-shirt for his body. We then made a red cone with elastic for a hat and put cotton balls on a piece of paper for his beard.
